Once again, Kendrick Lamar is at the top of the Grammy Awards nominations list - the rap superstar received eight nods, the most of any artist, the Recording Academy announced Friday morning. Lamar produced and curated the heavily-nominated soundtrack for "Black Panther," one of the biggest box office sensations of the year.

He was followed by Drake, with seven noms, whose smash "God's Plan" landed in the song and record of the year categories. Folk/roots singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile and producer/Drake collaborator Boi-1Da also each walked away with six nominations.
